LINKIN PARK ALBUM IN STUDIO (2000) HYBRID THEORY: 20,000,000 (2003) METEORA: 13,100,000 (2007) MINUTES TO MIDNIGHT: 7,900,000 (2010) A THOUSAND SUNS: 2,800,000 (2012) LIVING THINGS: 2,400,000 (2014) THE HUNTING PARTY: 1,300,000 EP, LIVE, REMIX (2001) FRAT PARTY AT THE PANCAKE FESTIVAL: 500,000 (2002) REANIMATION: 3,900,000 (2003) LIVE IN TEXAS: 3,500,000 (2004) COLLISION COURSE: 4,900,000 (2008) ROAD TO REVOLUTION: 1,200,000 (2013) RECHARGED: 500,000 MINOR RELASES: 500,000 TOTAL: 62,500,000 copies worldwide
ATTENTION PLEASE: I want to clarify that sales of A Thousand Suns and Living Things are NOT a flop. They are really good sales nowadays (in fact A Thousand Suns was the best selling rock album of 2010). Simply nowadays the musical CD sell much less than one time. You can see the comparisons with the sale of other rock bands that I will post in the future
From different sites about music sales: Mediatraffic, Ukmix, Billboard, FanOfMusic, WorldWideAlbums and other, in addition to personal calculations and estimations.
RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS ALBUM IN STUDIO (1984) THE RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS: 600,000 (1985) FREAKY STYLEY: 800,000 (1987) THE UPLIFT MOFO PARTY PLAN: 1,100,000 (1989) MOTHER'S MILK: 2,300,000 (1991) BLOOD SUGAR SEX MAGIK: 13,800,000 (1995) ONE HOT MINUTE: 6,200,000 (1999) CALIFORNICATION: 16,100,000 (2002) BY THE WAY: 9,700,000 (2006) STADIUM ARCADIUM: 7,600,000 (2011) I'M WITH YOU: 2,200,000 EP, LIVE & COMPILATION (1992) WHAT HITS!?: 4,500,000 (1994) OUT IN LA: 400,000 (2003) GREATEST HITS: 7,800,000 (2004) LIVE IN HYDE PARK: 1,400,000 SALES OF ADDITIONAL MINOR RELASES: 500,000 TOTAL: 75,000,000
This is really cool, actually. Not only seeing LP's sales, but also how they look against other bands.
I have to join in the praise and say thank you for doing this. When I was a member of LPU; I'd report all of the Billboard charts and stats when new singles and albums were released - but that was for U.S. only. It's crazy to think that Live in Texas sold more albums worldwide than ATS and LT did. But to your point... 2003 vs 2010 and 2012.
NEXT: Nickelback! meanwhile... to answer your questions: - DEAD BY SURNISE: Out Of Ashes (2009) -> 200.000 copies worlwide - FORT MINOR: The Rising Tied (2005) -> 1.100.000 copies worldwide
Thanks for this. Out Of Ashes is one of my favorite albums of all time, I was always wondering about the sales.
I have already explained the situation "I want to clarify that sales of A Thousand Suns and Living Things are NOT a flop. They are really good sales nowadays (in fact A Thousand Suns was the best selling rock album of 2010). Simply nowadays the musical CD sell much less than one time. You can see the comparisons with the sale of other rock bands that I will post in the future" You can see the comparisons with other bands sales. Every year sales drop, but today Linkin Park are the most successful Rock Band in the world (also in terms of sales).
